I just recently had my DVR upgraded and had the whole Home DVR activated and the wireless internet connection kit installed. I have a HR24-200 and Time Warner RoadRunner internet (SGB-6580 router). I have reset, reconnected, and contacted Directv who sent "authorizations" to all my receivers. I am continualy getting a message on my other receivers that "the family room DVR has been disconnected from the home network, playlist is unavailable", it iterupts streaming and watching recordings form the DVR on the other receivers. When you ok out of the message and check the recordings the playlist is there and fine so it must be diconnecting for a second or two then reconnecting? Cant' get anyone to be able to fix, is it a Time Warner/router issue? Perplexed!

I sort of doubt it's your internet, but you can try pulling the power on the WiFi connection, and then reboot all the receivers. This will have them change their IP addresses, and remove any connection with your ISP.

"I imagine" you'll still have the problem, but you'll know it has nothing to do with your WiFi connection. If the problem goes away, then it will point to where to look.

The Cinema Connection Kit is what was used to connect your DirecTV setup to your home network. I can't grab photos of it right now, but I'm sure someone else here can. It will have a couple of lights on it to include one that says WIFI. It should be a small black box with a coax going in one end and out the other to a receiver. Just unplug it from a power outlet and reset your receivers. After a few minutes, they will revert to internal IP addresses, which will simulate a static IP address setup.

if u disc the cckw, and resetting didnt work try goin to the network setup and restoring defaults that should take it back to static ip address.
to check the ip address menu-settings-info an test- more system info- network
i would check to make sure that they are all on the same ip adress.

im assuming that the cckw was using the coax connection and not the ethernet cable?

I may not know as much as the experts but neither did the experts when they themselves were novices.
